Another reason is because of the dialect. In Xi 'an, where the Chinese hamburger was invented, if the name of this Chinese hamburger is steamed with meat, then the dialect sounds like no meat, so in order to avoid this problem, smart people changed it to Chinese hamburger.
Moreover, Chinese hamburger is a famous snack in Xi 'an. The Chinese hamburger looks like a round pancake with cucumber or lettuce and some meat in the middle. Usually, the inner wall of the cake is coated with delicious sauce, which makes it taste different.
Although Chinese hamburger is a snack in Xi 'an, there are Chinese hamburger in many places now, but I don't know if it is authentic. I used to like Chinese hamburger very much. In high school, I usually ate it at the snack bar at the school gate or in the school cafeteria. My favorite is the meat loaf at the school gate, because the meat loaf at the school gate will give you lettuce and some meat, but the meat loaf in the school cafeteria has some cheat people. The price of meat buns in the school canteen is a little higher than that outside. They don't add vegetables such as lettuce, and even the meat is imitation of soy products. But because I can't leave the school gate until the holiday, I sometimes try it even if I know it's pit.
